Cancer Detection Dogs Training

One year old mixed beagle/hounds Buster, Indie and Romeo are performing their twice daily cancer detection training which is how they are fed.

Breath Samples Urgently Need.

Research has shown that dogs can be trained to detect the odor of cancer in exhaled breath earlier and more accurately than any other method.

CancerDogs.ca is currently training dogs with breath samples collected using a simple surgical mask. This accurate, low-cost, non-invasive method of early detection will be available later this year. Patients will have more options, require less treatment and invasive surgery, and have much higher survival rates.

To complete our training we urgently need breath samples from people diagnosed but not yet treated for cancer.

Please help us by donating breath samples or by referring us to someone who can.

When the dog finds the target on the sniffing station just say "paw, show me" and place his paw on the hole before rewarding with a treat.

Before ours dogs started on the sniffing station we had already taught them a few tricks that helped. First we taught them to shake paw using the command "shake paw" or just "paw". This teaches the dog the word paw. Then we taught the dog to ring a desk bell by lifting his paw and dropping it on the ringer and rewarding with a treat when the bell rings.

Ok. So I'm guess in the way you began to train them to identify the smell was to have different smells lined up and lead them to ead smell and only gave them a treat when you had them sniff the smell you wanted them to identify. right? that way the dog knows which smell get him the treat. So how did you get the dog to put his paw on the hole?
